The Wing - F section
Last time I was here I only got to use the Business class section...
I'm flying in F on BA back to London and was curious to know if the Wing's First Class section was much different? Any advice of what I should do? Sample anything in particular off the restaurant's menu?

Enjoy. I still think its the best lounge in the world (not having been to Lufthansa's first class terminal...yet)

* Less crowded.
* There is also "The Cabanas". I never use it though.
* In regards to the restaurant, the food is excellent. If you like anything from the J lounge, just let the waiter/waitress know.
* Even if you are outside the restaurant, an attendent normally comes by and serve you.
* "The Library" where you can relax and feel quiet.
* The bathroom is also nicer.
Anyway, the F lounge is simply like an upgraded J lounge.

Can you actually ask for a menu? I've heard of the "special" menu where you can ask for anything you want, but never really worked out what there is to ask for....

Another thing I didn't get is why the bars don't display the available drink options? What's the point of keeping the bottles hidden?

When the Wing was built, it probably defined the new standard how J and F lounge should be. By now, there are many other lounges that are nicer in terms of environment. The Wing is still among the best. It depends on the person. I love it because of the food (other has good food too, but just not the same) and the work environment. I have been to lounges that are nicer, but more for relaxation, sipping wine and looking out the windows, but that was not what I was looking for.

I haven't been to the Concorde room (that's only for pax traveling in F, right? Not lowly OW emeralds in J?) However, my partner and I quite enjoyed the BA F lounge. I got a massage, and he snacked. 
Same here. I wasn't aware that either lounge had anything besides the buffet. Is that available at both, or just the Wing?
